Grounds
The property has a prominent
position located at the top of a valley with views to 20 kilometres.
The main access is a private road to the rear of the property and
sweeps around to the end of the barns where parking bays have been
formed. Access to the buildings is by the front of the house through
a magnificent arch and a gravelled terrace.
The front (southwest) of the property has magnificent far reaching
south and westerly views across the valleys, with a mix of terraces
and gravel which merge with sweeping lawns sloping down to the pool
and open fields below. The salon d'été is set at a right angle to
the main house with three large arched French doors and terraced
eating area also offering far reaching westerly views of sunsets.
The pool is located below the house and is surrounded by hard paving,
dwarf walls and a raised wooden deck. In addition to the lawns,
there are a number of beautifully planted flower beds and mature
trees (poplar, oak, birch) which provide shelter from sun as needed
and a wonderful bouquet of colour and perfume. Outside the kitchen
is a timber arbour "abri" which is covered by wisteria and trumpet
vines and provides a magnificent sheltered outside dining or lounging
area to watch the fabulous setting sun, have a glass of wine or
monitor children pool fun below.
To the rear (north) of the house is a large enclosed "Bastide" walled
terraced courtyard incorporating a magnificent arch to the terraces,
two natural wells one of which is a fountain, raised flower beds,
a built in stone barbeque, a covered opening for shade, and a stone
staircase leading to the large barn entertainment room. For evening
enjoyment, there is up-lighting for outdoor enjoyment and eating
/ entertaining.
The courtyard can be accessed via the formal dining room, the lounge,
the arch or a north door to an orchard. Set above the courtyard
is an orchard with (apple, apricot, plum, pear, fig, walnut) trees
which also provide an ideal level grassy area to play "boule" or
croquet.
To the east of the house and above the salon d'été is a staircase
to the orchard with banked lawns, shrubs and a lovely mature cherry
tree.
To the west of the house are terraced lawns and parking set under
mature oak and birch trees with lovely Hydrangea for colour. The
main drive into the property terminates at the western extremity
of the barns and is 400 meters to the road providing safety for
children and domestic animals
